the president and mitt romney, will the president really go on the offensive unlike the first debate? will he really go after mitt romney on some of these foreign policy issues and the third and final presidential debate is close to the entirely quoted to national security and foreign policy and the next debate, the town hall meeting, that candy crowley will be moderating on domestic issues, other issues presumably somebody once asked a foreign policy question and the third debate strictly foreign policy and as a result romney is preparing for the second, especially the third debate right now and i think the speech that he is delivering today is part of that. in delivering a major foreign policy address like he is today, laying out his vision for the united states around the world during the romney administration, he really has to beef up on a lot of these issues. while he has a lot of experience on domestic economic issues and the social issues and the political issues, his experience in national security and foreign policy is not vast. he has to bone up on this and this is an area w

wednesday's debate. >> we've expected all along that governor romney will have a good night. he's prepared more than any candidate in history. >> president obama is a very -- he's a very gifted speaker. the man's been on the national stage for many years. he's an experienced debater. he's done these kinds of debates before. this is mitt's first time on this kind of a stage. >> reporter: ryan's words echoed a memo from romney adviser beth myers who said the president was widely regarded as one of the most talented political communicators in modern history. myers even pointed to a cnn/orc poll showing a 25-point advantage for obama on who voters think will win the debates. the obama camp likes to remind voters the president hasn't had as much time to prepare for the debates because he's busy being commander in chief. when it comes to just how much debates matter, it depends. >> most often debates don't make that big a difference. very few candidates ever win an election with a debate. but quite a few have lost an election with a debate. so it can matter. >> reporter: these matc

in a post debate cnn orc poll, 46% thought romney more likable than before. to capitalize on that good news, romney went on republican friendly fox news to clarify his 47% remark. >> clearly in a campaign with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question and answer sessions, now and then you say something that doesn't come out right. in this case, i said something that is just completely wrong. >> that's what romney said on fox last night. now, let's tiptoe down memory lane. >> there are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. there are 47% who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they're entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. >> it is not elegantly stated. let me put it that way. i'm speaking off the cuff in response to a question. i'm sure i could state it more clearly in a more effective way. >> now, romney is saying never mind, and there say likely reason for that. in a rec
